Pa April 26, 1521, Luther anachoka ku Worms. Mitambo yoopsa inaphimba njira yake. Koma atatuluka pachipata cha mzindawo, mtima wake unadzaza ndi chisangalalo ndi chitamando. ‘Satana mwiniyo,’ iye anatero, ‘anatetezera linga la Papa; koma Khristu wapasula kwambiri. Mdyerekezi anayenera kuvomereza kuti Mesiya ndi wamphamvu kwambiri.”

“Mkangano wa ku Worms,” analemba motero bwenzi la wokonzanso zinthu, “unasonkhezera anthu kufupi ndi kutali. Pamene mbiri yake inafalikira ku Ulaya konse—ku Scandinavia, mapiri a Alps a ku Switzerland, mizinda ya England, France ndi Italy—ambiri anatenga mwachidwi zida zamphamvu za m’Mawu a Mulungu.”

Kuchoka ku Nyongolotsi: Wokhulupirika ndi chenjezo limodzi

Nthawi ya XNUMX koloko Luther anatuluka m’tauni pamodzi ndi anzake amene anamuperekeza ku Worms. Amuna XNUMX okwera pamakoma ndi khamu lalikulu la anthu anaperekeza ngoloyo mpaka kumakoma.

Paulendo wobwerera kuchokera ku Worms, adaganiza zolemberanso Kaiser chifukwa sanafune kuwoneka ngati wopanduka. “Mulungu ndiye mboni yanga; amadziwa malingaliro,' adatero. “Ndiri wofunitsitsa ndi mtima wonse kumvera Mfumu Yanu, mwaulemu kapena manyazi, m’moyo kapena pa imfa, ndi chenjezo limodzi: pamene zikutsutsana ndi Mawu ofulumizitsa a Mulungu. M’zamalonda zonse za moyo muli ndi kukhulupirika kwanga kosatha; pakuti pano kutayikitsa kapena kupindula sikukhudzana ndi chipulumutso. Koma n’zosemphana ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu kugonjera anthu pa nkhani za moyo wosatha. Kumvera kwauzimu ndiko kulambira koona ndipo kuyenera kusungidwa kwa Mlengi.”

Anatumizanso kalata yokhala ndi pafupifupi zofanana zomwezo ku mayiko achifumu, momwe adafotokozera mwachidule zomwe zikuchitika ku Worms. Kalata iyi inakhudza kwambiri Ajeremani. Iwo anaona kuti Luther anachitiridwa zinthu mopanda chilungamo kwambiri ndi mfumu ndi atsogoleri achipembedzo apamwamba, ndipo anakwiya kwambiri ndi kudzikuza kwa upapa.

Charles V akanakhala kuti anazindikira phindu lenileni la ufumu wake wa munthu wonga Luther—munthu amene sakanagulidwa kapena kugulitsidwa, amene sakanapereka mfundo zake zachikhalidwe kaamba ka bwenzi kapena mdani—iye akanamlemekeza ndi kumlemekeza m’malo mom’dzudzula. pewani.

Kuwombera ngati ntchito yopulumutsa

Luther anapita kwawo, akulandira ulemu kuchokera kwa anthu osiyanasiyana panjira. Akuluakulu a tchalitchi analandira monkeyo motembereredwa ndi papa, ndipo akuluakulu a boma analemekeza munthu amene anali woletsedwa ndi mfumu. Anaganiza zopatuka panjira yopita ku Mora, komwe bambo ake adabadwira. Mnzake Amsdorf ndi woyendetsa galimoto adatsagana naye. Ena onse m’gululo anapitirizabe ku Wittenberg. Atapuma tsiku lamtendere ndi achibale ake - zosiyana bwanji ndi chipwirikiti ndi mikangano ku Worms - adayambiranso ulendo wake.

Ngoloyo itadutsa m’chigwa, apaulendowo anakumana ndi apakavalo asanu okhala ndi zida zokwanira, ovala zophimba nkhope. Awiri adagwira Amsdorf ndi woyendetsa galimoto, ena atatu a Luther. Mwakachetechete anamukakamiza kuti atsike, anaponyera chovala cha knight pamapewa ake ndikumuyika pa kavalo wowonjezera. Kenako adalola Amsdorf ndi woyendetsa galimoto kupita. Onse asanu analumphira m’zishalozo ndipo anazimiririka m’nkhalango yamdimayo limodzi ndi mkaidiyo.

Anayenda m’njira zokhotakhota, nthawi zina kutsogolo, nthawi zina chakumbuyo, kuti athawe wowathamangitsa. Kukada, iwo anatenga njira yatsopano n’kupitirira mofulumira komanso mwakachetechete kudutsa m’nkhalango zamdima, zosapondedwa mpaka kufika kumapiri a Thuringia. Apa Wartburg anaikidwa pampando wachifumu pamwamba pa nsonga yomwe inkafikiridwa ndi phiri lokwera ndi lovuta. Luther analowetsedwa m’makoma a linga lakutali limeneli ndi om’gwira. Zipata zolemera zinatsekeka kumbuyo kwake, kubisala kuti asawoneke ndi kudziwa zakunja.

Wokonzansoyo anali asanagwe m’manja mwa adani. Mlonda anali atamuyang'ana mayendedwe ake, ndipo pamene chimphepocho chinkafuna kugunda mutu wake wopanda chitetezo, mtima weniweni ndi wolemekezeka unathamangira kumupulumutsa. Zinali zoonekeratu kuti Roma akanakhutira ndi imfa yake yokha; ndi pobisalira pokha pokana kumupulumutsa ku zikhadabo za mkango.

Luther atachoka ku Worms, woimira papayo analandira chikalata chomutsutsa ndi kusainidwa ndi mfumu ndiponso chidindo cha mfumu. M’chilamulo chachifumu chimenechi, Luther anatsutsidwa kukhala “Satana mwiniyo, wodzibisa ngati munthu m’chizoloŵezi cha amonke.” Analamulidwa kuti achitepo kanthu koyenera kuti asiye ntchito yake. Kum’patsa pogona, kum’patsa chakudya kapena chakumwa, kumuthandiza kapena kum’chirikiza ndi mawu kapena zochita, poyera kapena mwamseri, kunali koletsedwa kotheratu. Ayenera kugwidwa kulikonse ndi kuperekedwa kwa akuluakulu - momwemonso kwa otsatira ake. Katunduyo anayenera kulandidwa. Zolemba zake ziyenera kuwonongedwa. M’kupita kwa nthaŵi, aliyense amene akanayerekeza kuswa lamulo limeneli analetsedwa ku ulamuliro wa Reich.

A Kaiser adalankhula, a Reichstag adavomereza chigamulocho. Mpingo wonse wa otsatira a Roma unakondwera. Tsopano tsogolo la Kukonzanso linasindikizidwa! Khamu la anthu okhulupirira malodza linanjenjemera ndi kulongosola kwa Mfumu Luther ponena kuti Satana anavala thupi lachimonke.

Mu ora lachiopsezo ili, Mulungu anapanga njira yopulumukira kwa mtumiki Wake. Mzimu Woyera unasuntha mtima wa Wosankhidwa wa ku Saxony ndikumupatsa nzeru za dongosolo lopulumutsa Luther. Frederick anadziwitsa wokonzanso ali ku Worms kuti ufulu wake ukhoza kuperekedwa kwa kanthawi chifukwa cha chitetezo chake ndi cha kukonzanso; koma panalibe chosonyeza mmene. Dongosolo la wosankhidwayo linagwiridwa ndi mgwirizano wa mabwenzi enieni, ndipo mwanzeru ndi mwaluso kwambiri kotero kuti Luther anakhalabe wobisika kotheratu kwa mabwenzi ndi adani. Kugwidwa kwake ndi malo amene anabisala zinali zodabwitsa kwambiri moti kwa nthawi yaitali ngakhale Fulediriki sankadziwa kumene anatengedwa. Izi sizinali zopanda cholinga: malinga ngati wosankhidwayo samadziwa kalikonse za kumene Luther anali, iye sakanakhoza kuwulula chirichonse. Iye anaonetsetsa kuti wokonzansoyo anali wotetezeka, ndipo zimenezo zinali zokwanira kwa iye.

Nthawi yopuma ndi mapindu ake

Kasupe, chirimwe, ndi mphukira zinadutsa, ndipo nyengo yozizira inafika. Luther anali adakali m’misampha. Aleander ndi anzake a m’chipanicho anasangalala chifukwa chozimitsa kuwala kwa uthenga wabwino. M’malo mwake, Luther anadzaza nyali yake kuchokera m’nkhokwe yosatha ya chowonadi, kuti iwale ndi kuwala kowonjezereka m’nthaŵi yake.

Sizinali chifukwa cha chitetezo chake chokha pamene Luther anachotsedwa pa siteji ya moyo wa anthu molingana ndi chitsogozo cha Mulungu. M'malo mwake, nzeru zopanda malire zinagonjetsa zochitika zonse ndi zochitika chifukwa cha zolinga zakuya. Sichifuniro cha Mulungu kuti ntchito yake ikhale ndi chizindikiro cha munthu mmodzi. Ogwira ntchito ena adzaitanidwa kunkhondo pamene Luther analibe kuti athandize kulinganiza kukonzanso.

Kuonjezera apo, ndi kayendedwe kalikonse kokonzanso pali ngozi yoti idzapangidwa mwaumunthu kuposa yaumulungu. Pakuti pamene wina akondwera ndi ufulu umene umachokera m’chowonadi, posachedwapa munthu amalemekeza awo amene Mulungu wawaika kuti athyole unyolo wa zolakwa ndi zikhulupiriro. Amayamikiridwa, kutamandidwa ndi kulemekezedwa monga atsogoleri. Pokhapokha ngati ali odzichepetsadi, odzipereka, opanda dyera, ndi osabvunda, amayamba kudzimva kukhala osadalira kwambiri Mulungu ndi kuyamba kudzidalira. Posakhalitsa amayesa kusokoneza maganizo ndi kuchepetsa chikumbumtima, ndipo amafika podziona ngati njira yokhayo imene Mulungu amaunikira tchalitchi chake. Ntchito yokonzanso zinthu nthawi zambiri imachedwetsedwa ndi mzimu wokonda izi.

Ali m’chisungiko cha ku Wartburg, Luther anapumula kwakanthaŵi ndipo anali wokondwa chifukwa cha mtunda wotalikirapo kuchokera kuchipwirikiti chankhondo. Ali m’makoma a nyumba yachifumuyo anayang’ana nkhalango zakuda kumbali zonse, kenako anatembenukira kumwamba n’kunena kuti, ‘Ukapolo wodabwitsa! M’ndende mwaufulu koma mosagwirizana ndi chifuniro changa!’ ‘Mundipempherere,’ akulembera kalata Spalatin. “Sindikufuna china koma mapemphero ako. Osandivutitsa ndi zomwe zimanenedwa kapena kuganiza za ine padziko lapansi. Pomaliza ndikhoza kupuma."

Kukhala pawekha ndi kukhala kwaokha kwa malo othaŵirako a phirili kunali ndi dalitso lina lamtengo wapatali kwa wokonzansoyo. Choncho kupambana sikunapite kumutu kwake. Kutali kunali chithandizo chonse chaumunthu, iye sanasonyezedwe chifundo kapena chitamando, zomwe nthawi zambiri zimabweretsa zotsatira zoopsa. Ngakhale kuti Mulungu ayenera kulandira chitamando chonse ndi ulemerero, Satana amaika maganizo ndi malingaliro kwa anthu amene ali zida za Mulungu. Iye amamuyika iye pakati ndi kusokoneza makonzedwe amene amalamulira zochitika zonse.

Apa pali ngozi kwa Akhristu onse. Mosasamala kanthu kuti iwo angasimikizidwe motani ndi ntchito zabwino, zodzimana za atumiki okhulupirika a Mulungu, Mulungu yekha ndiye ayenera kulemekezedwa. Nzeru zonse, luso ndi chisomo chimene munthu ali nacho amachilandira kuchokera kwa Mulungu. Matamando onse apite kwa iye.

Kuchulukitsa zokolola

Luther sanakhutire ndi mtendere ndi kumasuka kwa nthaŵi yaitali. Anazolowera moyo wochita zinthu komanso kukangana. Kusagwira ntchito kunali kosapiririka kwa iye. M’masiku osungulumwa amenewo iye anajambula mkhalidwe wa Mpingo. Anaona kuti palibe amene anaima pa malinga ndi kumanga Ziyoni. Apanso anadziganizira yekha. Iye ankaopa kuti ngati atasiya ntchito anganene kuti ndi wamantha, ndipo ankadziimba mlandu kuti ndi waulesi komanso waulesi. Panthawi imodzimodziyo, tsiku lililonse ankachita zinthu zooneka ngati zamphamvu kwambiri. Iye analemba kuti: “Ndimawerenga Baibulo m’Chiheberi ndi Chigiriki. Ndikufuna kulemba buku lachijeremani pa kuvomereza kwa m'makutu, ndidzapitirizanso kumasulira Masalmo ndikulemba mndandanda wa maulaliki nditangolandira zomwe ndikufuna kuchokera ku Wittenberg. Cholembera changa sichiyima.

Pamene kuli kwakuti adani ake anadzitamandira kuti anatonthola, iwo anazizwa ndi umboni wowoneka wa ntchito yake yopitirizabe. Zolemba zambiri zochokera ku cholembera chake zidafalikira ku Germany konse. Kwa pafupifupi chaka chathunthu, atatetezedwa ku mkwiyo wa adani onse, iye anachenjeza ndi kudzudzula machimo amene anali ofala m’tsiku lake.

Iye anachitanso ntchito yofunika kwambiri kwa anthu a m’dziko lake mwa kumasulira Baibulo loyambirira la Chipangano Chatsopano m’Chijeremani. Mwanjira imeneyi, mawu a Mulungu akanathanso kumveka kwa anthu wamba. Tsopano mutha kudziwerengera nokha mawu onse amoyo ndi chowonadi. Iye anali wopambana makamaka potembenuza maso onse kuchoka kwa Papa ku Roma kupita kwa Yesu Khristu, Dzuwa la Chilungamo.
